The opening ceremony officially took place at Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow. As one of the opening ceremonies with huge investments compared to previous seasons, the opening night gathered a cast of famous singers from around the world. Singer Robbie William and host country singer Aida Gari fullina were the two main performing stars at the ceremony.
However, the joyful atmosphere of the ceremony was affected by the "ugly" moment of singer Williams when he suddenly put his " dirty finger" on the camera. Although it only took a few seconds, Robbie Williams' actions still made many people angry when millions of people around the world were watching this moment.
On social networking site Twitter, a series of fans immediately expressed their anger, criticizing Williams for being "lacking in thought".
"Why did he dare to do this? , "He's insulting everyone," "I went crazy to see him do that. It's a shame."
Regarding this incident, Fox News (USA) has apologized to the audience, and criticized the 44-year-old male singer for his actions.
"The 2018 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony is a major event produced by a third party and broadcast live by Fox. As a live event, we could not foresee Robbie Williams' actions while he was performing and we apologize - Fox News affirmed".
